Packers Could Move Pro Bowler to New Role After $77 Million Signing

Former Green Bay Packer Brett Favre enters Pro Football Hall of Fame

The Green Bay Packers have now seen two of their former legendary quarterbacks go on to play for different teams to end their career. Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers both departed Green Bay for the New York Jets after relationships crumbled in both situations.

However, Packers fans are now seeing Favre doing something else Green Bay fans absolutely hate.

Whether Aaron Rodgers wants Brett Favre to mentor him a second time or not, Favre is willing to offer his advice. If given the chance, Favre encouraged Rodgers to sign with the Minnesota Vikings on cable television:

Rodgers is reportedly weighing his options, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants supposedly the two teams with the best chance to get him. However, NFL insider Michael Silver is on record saying the Vikings remain a possibility after Daniel Jones signed with the Indianapolis Colts.

“By all means, sign with them. They got a really good football team. They’re loaded at pretty much every position,” Favre said on Fox News. “They made it to the playoffs last year. They got a tremendous fan base, much like the Packers. If you get the opportunity, that’s a good place to win. Of course, you gotta play the Packers then.”

Favre spent 16 years in Green Bay and then one in New York with the Jets before signing with the Vikings in 2009 at the age of 40. Rodgers played 18 years in Green Bay and has spent the past two seasons with the Jets.

“Love-hate relationship at its best,” Favre said of the border rivals. “That’s what makes it such a great rivalry. I got to see it from both sides. It made me appreciate both sides even more. If he gets an opportunity, why not?”

Here is a look at Rodgers’ stats in 2024:
